Five Things to Do Before Next Year

Time waits for no one. And, the older we get, the slower we get, the faster it seems to become.

Another new year is less than a week upon us. We have just enough time to get a few more items checked off our "to do" lists. Because, before you know it, we won't have any opportunities left (because, you know, some of these items are time sensitive).

1. You Need to Know About Holiday Festivities: Those who opt to celebrate Christmas with real trees know, once the holidays are behind us, they must take care of those trees, lest they become nothing more than twigs in a bucket, surrounded by needles on the floor. So, too, will all of the holiday fineries on display around town and on the Green be a thing of the past. So make sure to get out there and check out what's still up, before it all comes down.
2. You Need to Know About New Year's Eve: is just one of the places you can try for the celebration. Dinner will be served until 10 p.m. After that, the dining room turns into a dance floor until 2 a.m. 
3. You Need to Know About Resolution Headstarts: Is one of your New Year's resolutions to get yourself in better shape and lose some weight? If so, you need to look into ,, , or . They can all help.
4. You Need to Know About Reconnection: Were you ever a Boy Scout? Ever wonder what happened to some of your fellow Scouts? If you would love to find out in 2011, rather than 2012, you might want to stop into  at 6 p.m. Thursday when they will be hosting a Boy Scout Alumni event for those ages 21-39.
5. You Need to Know About Connection: From what we have heard, all the kids that got Smartphones for Christmas absolutely love the Patch app. What better way to round-out 2011 is there than by downloading it yourself?
